Description

This is a follow-up on this issue

I would love to be able to add stylenames to Grid Editor Columns. In my Grid, there is a component-column with a CheckBox, which I display centered by using grid.addComponentColumn(...).setStyleGenerator("v-align-center");

Currently it is not possible to center (or style in general) the Editor-CheckBox which makes my application look unprofessional.

Can we please be able to style the editor cells too? Thank you

Research direction

Start by tracing how Grid Editor columns render their editor cells, using the component-column and setStyleGenerator example in the issue as the expected case. Determine where editor cell styling is handled and verify that an editor CheckBox can receive the requested style name and render centered, matching the existing Grid column styling behavior.
